Emergency Operations Center – Weston, Florida

The City of Weston’s new $7.5 million dollar Emergency Operations Center (EOC) / Administrative Services Center was recently completed. The three-story building is now home to the EOC, IT personnel / equipment, Code Enforcement, Fire Marshall and the Building Code Services Department. The second story of the building will be dedicated to the EOC, and serve as a training facility and emergency situations center, mainly for police and fire, as well as the offices for information technology (IT). The third floor will provide sleeping accommodations for the EOC personnel, and space for future expansion needs.

CGA provided site engineering including water, sewer and drainage utilities for the facility, and construction services including civil site inspection, and limited construction administration. The site was located adjacent to an existing parking lot with active underground utilities (water, sewer, drainage, electric, irrigation and parking lot lighting), the existing City Hall, and a recreation center (tennis courts) which created unique design and construction challenges.
